Oil Pressure
Use this procedure to tighten the filter if eight num-
bers (1 to 8) are printed on the surface of the filter.
1) Make a mark on the oil filter base under the num-
ber that shows at the bottom of the filter when
the rubber seal is seated.
2l Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the marked point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point'
7/8 turn
Number when rubDer
seal is seated
Number after tightening.
CAUTION: Using any procedure other than those
shown could rosult in serious engins damage due
to oil leakage
5. After installation. fill the engine with oil up to the spec-
ified level, run the engine for more than three minutes,
then check for oil leakage

Testing
lf the oil pressure warning Iight stays on with the engine
running, check the engine oil level. It the oil level is cor-
rect:
1. Connect a tachometer'
2. Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and install an
oal pressure gauge.

{CommerciallY availablei
Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge
registers no oil pr€ssure. Repair the problem before
continuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (tan
comes on at least tlivice). The pressure should be;
Engine Oil Temperature: 176"F (80"C1
Engine Oil Pressulo:
At ldle: 69 kPa (0.7 kgf/Gm'. 10 Psi)
minimum
At 3.000 rpm: 3/Ut kPa (3.5 kgt/cm', 50 psi)
minimum
. lf the oil Dressure is within specifications, replace
the oil pressure switch and recheck.
. lf the oil pressure is NOT within specifications,
inspect the oil pump (see page 8-10).

Stall Speed
Test
CAUTION:
. To prev€nt transmission damage, do not t6st stall speed for more than ro sgconds at a time.. Do not shift the levor while raising the engine speed.. Bo sule lo remove the pressure gauge betoro testing stall speed.
'1. Engage the parking brake, and block the front wheels.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine, and start the engine.
3. Make sure the Ay'C switch is OFF.
4. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on). shift into E position.
5. Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to g seconds, and note engine speed.
6. Allow two minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in @ and @ positions.
NOTE:
. Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only,. Stall speed should be the same in o., E and E positions.
Stall Spsed RPM:
Specification: 2.700 rpm
Service Limit: 2,550 - 2,850 rDm
TROUBLEPROBABLE CAUSE
. Low fluid level or ATF pump outDur. Clogged ATF strainer. Pressure regulator valve sluck closeo. Slipping clutch

Pressure Testing
@I While testing, be caroful of th€ rotating front wheels.
. Make sure lifts, iacks, and satoty stands are placod properly (see section 1)'
CAUTION:
. Beforo iesting, be sure the transmission fluid is tilled to tho proper level'
. Warm up tho engine before testing'
1. Raise the vehicle (see section 1).
2. Warm up the engine, then stop the engine and connect a tachometer'
3. Connect the oil pressure gauges to each inspection hole.
TOROUE: 18 N.m (1.8 kgf'm, 13 lbnft)
cAUTloN: connact the oil pressuro gauges securely; be suro not to allow dust and other foreign Parlicles to entel

Stall Speed
Test
CAUTION:
. To prevent transmission damage, do not test stall sp€€d for mole than 10 seconds at a time.
. Do not shift the lsver whils raising the engine speod.
. Be sure lo remove the pressure gauge before tosting stall speed.
. Stall speed tssts should be used tor diagnostic purposes only,
1. Engage the parking brake, and block the tront wheels.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine, and stan the engine.
3. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
4. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift into E position.
5. Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed,
6. Allow two minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in E, E, and E positions.
Stall Speed BPM in E poshion:

Pressure Testing
. While testing, be careful of the rot8ling front wheels.
. M8k6 suro lifts, iacks, and satety stands are placed properly lsee section 11.
CAUTION:
. Before testing, be sur. the transmb3ion fluid is fillod to the propor lcvel.. Warm up the engin€ to nolmal operating tsmperature bofore testing. While t€sting, be 3ure not to allow dust and other loreign particles to onler into the transmi$ion.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands (see section 1).
2. Set the parking brake. and block both rear wheels securely.
3. Allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
4. Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on), then stop arid connect a tachometer.
5. Connect the special tool to each inspection hole.
TOROUE: 18 N.m (1.8 kgt'm, 13 tbtfr)
GAUTION:
. Connect the oil pressuro gauge !!€curoly, bs sur6 not to allow dust and other foroign particlG3 to ontar the inspsc-tion hole.
. Whon troubleshooting by tho E indicltor light indic.t6 a problam. you mu3t u3e an oil p.essure gluge that moa,sures 4,9(X) kPa (a.90 MPa,50.0 kS cr*,771psi) or more when molsuring driv. pulley pressure and driven pullcypre33ure.
NOTE:
. D.ive pulley pressure may be above 3,430 kPa (3.i8 MPa,35.0 kgf/cmr, 498 psi) wh€n there is a transmission prob-
lem that causes the TCM or PCM to go into the fail-safe mode,. Use a commercially available oil pressure gauge that measures 4,900 kPa {4.90 MPa, 5O.O kgf/cmr, 711 psi) ormore, and the Ay'T Oil Pressure Hose, 2210 mm (07MAJ - PY4011A).
